My name is sergio, portuguese and i own a powershot s95. The reason that a bought this one, was first because i needed a small camera (pocketable) but with manual controls so i could learn fotography. And i did. I’m not that kind of person that is always buying cameras and do not like to sell and buy stuffs but now a need and want to step up to a new battle. A lot of people says that we should buy a good lens first and a cheper body and then replace the body. But as i said, i do not feel well on selling and buying cameras all the time. It isn’t me.

So i’m thinking on buying a Canon 7D or, because of my budget a 60D. I can spend 2000euros. I will just buy canon.

I analised my photos and i realised that most of then are shot in 28mm (75%), 50mm (15%) and the rest with other focal lenght.

I shot portraits, landscapes and indoors ( the f2.0 of the powershot is a must), so i need a fast lens and also want to try something new ( like tele photo – does not need to be now).
I really do not want a kit lens.

My idea, and since i’m not a professional and this camera is to last some years, is to buy a prime lens in the beginning and after that to expand accordingly my needs with a zoom lens.

I was thinking in something like a 35mm f/2.0 and a 85mm f/1.8. These two lens and the camera is about 2000euros. With this i travel light and if i want other focal lenght or portability i still have the s95.
